Default Good Body Shop In Miami/Kendall Area

Hey guys I'm looking for a good reputable shop down here around the Kendall area. I need to get a dent or two removed and have a couple scratches touched-up. Also in the future Im planning on doing some body work (putting on a body kit and repainting the whole car stock color). Anybody know any good shops, I'm willing to drive a little if there isn't one here in Kendall ...

Not sure about down there but if you're willing to go to Lauderdale, there's a top-notch shop called Body Craft on Andrews Ave near downtown. The shop does a lot of work on high-end cars, lots of Bentleys, Phantoms and Benzes in there, (even seen a couple Maybachs; I can't believe people are wrecking these cars!) and the owner drives an LS430. I had them install my Wald kit, and they did a flawless job.

I paid $800 for the kit to be repainted and installed. I also had a small dent removed for $85 and an exterior polish, detail, and paint chip touch-up. It took them about three and a half days to finish, most of that involved refinishing the body kit. I had made an appointment to drop the car off two weeks in advance, since they are fairly busy. The paint job and kit installation is superb. Overall I would say the price is reasonable, especially for the quality of the work I received.

Miami Chassis does good body work, they remove all the glass when they repaint cars for no extra charge, check them out. That was the last time I checked with them, so call them first

Karls Auto does great work, actually the owner of the shop is a member here, stockis350.

Talk to Karl or Jose and tell them Rudy sent you, and you are a member of CL.

The South FL SC crew usually meet up at Towers shops on Friday nights and then ride out to the truck stop on US27(Okeechobee).
